Marcia Cross will be on Quantico as a recurring character once it returns in March.

 

Grant Show, of course, is a regular on Devious Maids.

 

Heather took a three year break after Franklin & Bash in 2013, but seems to be in a new tv movie. Hopefully she'll do more acting and she just took a break to sort out her life.

I mean I know what they have done, and DZ was awesome as Brookes mom on OTH btw.    I am sure Marcia Cross and CTS don't need the money.   I am just saying do any of them have long term commitments anywhere except Grant Show (I didn't know he was a regular)?  They could totally do a movie ala Knots Landing like the 80's.  There may be no market, but I don't see why Fox or the CW couldn't try or Lifetime with their unauthorized biographies lol.  Then Grant could even do it.  And yeah, not so sure about Heather and she's kinda of the deal breaker.  Just a thought.

I have never seen devious maids so I have no idea.  Time flies.  I realized I watched this in jr high and high school and now I am in my 30's lol  I just think it would be kinda cool to do one of those old school this is where they are at now movies.  Lord knows the crappy movies they put out on lifetime now.  Although, not gonna lie loved them doing flowers in the attic and all the sequels.  I can't imagine Michael Mancini 57, but I am sure he looks good.  The rest of the cast does relatively.  They all came together for the reunion show on GMA sans TC, so they seem like they'd be willing.  I mean I know Lisa Rinna would be in lol  She turns nothing down.

The bay is the web series with Lilly Melgar, and Mary Beth Evans, and a bunch of soap stars right?  They don't film very many episodes, do they?  It keeps my Melrose movie dream alive, but glad to hear TC is working.  I heard the Bay was good, but I have never seen in.  I am not into web series even though I know a lot are better than actual soaps.

Okay just finished season 5.  I had no idea it really was.  I remember it being bad, but it's awful.  The only mild entertainment is Taylor.  I mean David Chavert is funny for different reasons.

1. wtf is this Billy/Sam/Dad thing.  No one cares

2.  Why did Kimberly go into re-mission only to die?

3.  I totally forgot Alison was back on the sauce and Jake was just cool with it?  They are one of the worst married couples ever.  Truly  Her and Amanda and her being back at D&D were a bright spot.  I liked them as grudging friends.

4.  This show is just a hot mess and it gets so much worse in the second half.

5.  Did not recall NLG on the show at all.  And that Matt/storyline was so weird.

At least Billy and Alison got a small send off.  I know they showed up at the airport with Jane, but it was like here's a banner and see you later. Lol

1. Exactly. Sam was the worst character ever created. Even Kyle's brother in Season 7 is more interesting. If she was supposed to be the replacement for Jo, they misfired horribly. 

2. I think others mentioned there were some back 'n forth contract negotiations with Marcia Cross?  I always thought it was ironic how by the time she became an "official" castmember in season 4, she had already outrun her usefulness. 

3. Yeah, I couldn't believe how Allison was able to hit the bottle and Jake barely flinched. I liked how Allison eventually went back to D&D, for all of two seconds. 

4. Yup. haha

5. It was. Once again, Matt in his own storyline island, with no cute boyfriend (although his boyfriends were always mental hotheads) or the adorable Mara Wilson to make him interesting. 

 

Small sendoff for poor Jane. Gone are the days of someone getting a promotion or whatnot, and everyone from the apartment complex coming over for an impromptu party, complete with balloons and cake. Season One was adorable... :) 

 

I like how Soap Opera Digest once described David Charvet's MP run.... "from the moment David Charvet joined Melrose Place, he looked like he didn't want to be there." So true.

Sam was dead weight. She was riding off her success from Swingers.  She was less bad ass than Jo at her best when Jo was getting beat up by Jake's brother.

Marcia Cross way outlived her usefulness.  Why negotiate?  Syd was a way bigger loss.  They should have given more money to CTS or Grant Show, although I am okay with Jake's exit.

Alison in season 5 is an utter disappointment.  I don't understand why they just didn't have her and Billy ride off into the sunset.  It's not like Billy did anything worthy after season 5.

Amanda never really had a true rival (even though she always beat Alison) after season 5.  I think their rivalry was special because of the love triangle and the points where they are friends.

Poor Matt.  I like him in second viewing.  He deserved a better storyline alway

David Charvet always seemed too young and out of place with the rest of the cast although I like Sydney and him together.  So did Jenn, Billy's soulmate.

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
